... I provide you with some really bizarre linkage! Enjoy.

Don't like to swallow drugs?...Now you can "smoke" them! Ooh, trippy.

Learn the fine art of getting bumped off a flight and collect some yummy vouchers in the process.

The newest rage in hair treatment incorporates bull semen. Nothing like developing that sexy shine, ladies!

Before they were despots. Learn about the wacky ways of some infamous dictators before they attempted world domination. If only they had kept their day jobs.

Susan Smith's horrifying account, "I won't be happy until I lose my legs" (A story not for the squeamish)

Ethiopia becomes the only place on the planet where scientists can witness a continent splitting apart on dry land. Experience continents on the move.

A sleep walking woman is found having sex with strangers. If that's not disturbing enough,

"... there are some extraordinary cases of sleep walkers leaving their homes, driving cars, or engaging in behaviours that they would not usually. In 1987, Ken Parks, drove 23 kilometres from his home in Pickering, Ontario, to his in-laws house, where he strangled his father-in-law unconscious, and stabbed his mother-in-law to death. He was acquitted of murder because he was sleepwalking at the time."

What was the first thing sold off eBay? A broken laser pointer, of course!

On a side note, I've just finished reading David Bach's "Smart Women Finish Rich". It definitely warrants a second and third browsing through in order to properly digest every scrumptious morsel. I found the book to be particularly insightful and engaging. I actually enjoyed it more than his "Automatic Millionaire" (which is very light reading - AM took me a little over an hour to finish). I'd recommend "Smart Women Finish Rich" to anyone, whether male or female. It's one of those gems I'll need to purchase off eBay, for a welcome addition to my at-home collection.

Currently I'm tearing into "The Millionaire Mind" by Thomas Stanley. I plan on bringing a copy to the gym tomorrow to peruse through while exercising my little buns off.

• Zombie soldiers who rarely sleep by stuffing down a pill
• South Korean robot soldiers who can hunt down humans from over two miles away
• Intergalactic warfare of rays... or "The Day the Sun Went Away!"
• Rabid killer foxes!

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark

During a high-stress week of final exams, I stumbled across this video last night and couldn't help but laugh. Only in Copenhagen.

The Danish Road Safety Council has found an innovative new way to draw attention to speed signs and speed limits in Denmark. According to the campaign, "Despite a decrease in speed violations, 7 out of 10 Danes still exceed the speed limit on a regular basis. Respecting the speed limits is the simplest way to save lives."

If nudity doesn't offend you, view a clip of the campaign here.

I lived in Denmark for over four years and consider it my adopted second country. I've never visited a more charming, hyggelig (or cosy) destination in all my travels, and I was continually impressed by the natural and environmentally-conscious way of life there. Denmark is filled with extremely kind-hearted folk who are so positive and full of life. They are always pushing boundaries  -  all in good fun.

Oh, those silly Danes!

It took me a moment to figure out what the cab driver was saying. "Denmark has totally redeemed itself!"

hehe, det er for fedt...

With all these Scandinavian bossoms keeping abreast of current issues, is it any wonder a study from last year showed Danes as being the happiest people on earth? Or that today it was found to have the most dynamic economy in the EU, according to the World Economic Forum?

So when do we get some blonde nordic studs?
